How to execute SQL Server Agent Jobs which are listed in SQL Table

Question

I am trying to store all the SQL Server Agent Jobs in Table name and want to execute them based on their loading frequency.

CREATE TABLE Maintainance
(
SQLJobNa         


        

Answer 1

a) Create a proc that runs through list of procs with appropriate frequency value, executes them and updates lastrun column.

1. Make an argument @frequency in it, pass it form outside.
2. Filter your proc list with this argument
3. Loop through list of procs with this "frequency" and run procs

e.g.

alter proc dbo.RunProcs
  @Frequency varchar(50)
as
begin
  declare @crProcs cursor 

  set @crProcs = cursor fast_forward for
  select m.ProcName
  from dbo.Maintainance m
  where m.Frequency = @Frequency
  order by 1

  ...
  while @@fetch_status = 0
  beign
      begin try
        exec @ProcName
        ...
        update -> succeded
        ...
      end try
      begin catch
        ...
        update -> failed
        ...
      end catch
    fetch ...
  end

  return 1
end

b) Create scheduled jobs to run this proc

1. Create a job "DAILY PROCS", assign a schedule to this job to make it run every day.

   Add a job-step with T-SQL: exec dbo.RunProcs @Frequency = 'day'

2. Create a job "WEEKLY PROCS", assign a schedule to this job to make it run every week

   Add a job-step with T-SQL: exec dbo.RunProcs @Frequency = 'week'

3. Create a job "MONTHLY PROCS", assign a schedule to this job to make it run every month

   Add a job-step with T-SQL: exec dbo.RunProcs @Frequency = 'month'
